I saw a report on the sanparks web news archive about the entry gate upgrade . The entry gate is to be moved westwards to take the traffic away from the camp .

KNP is sacred.I am opposed to the modernisation of Kruger and from the depths of my soul long for the Kruger of yesteryear! 1000+km on foot in KNP incl 56 wild trails.200+ nights in the wildernessndloti-indigenous name for serval.

Hi All
As I understand it from my last visit last week there will be a tempory bridge alongside the old one I assume of the usual pipe and gravel standard. Maybe the mods can help us here, at this late stage the plans must have been done how about someone getting hold of these and posting a diagram and some details.

Recently visited Croc Bridge and saw much building going on. It seems the entrance gate and reception are being moved as well as the petrol station. Can anyone confirm this? It will probably make this delightful camp even more peaceful. No doubt the best game viewing area in the park!!

The petrol station will probably stay where it is as it has just been refurbished! I see gate booths are now going up..... Hopefully not too long before it is operational.

I gather that the aim is to speed things up for check-in, and provide better facitlities for day visitors with more parking, while allowing the traffic to by-pass the camp itself and keep that area quieter. I just went to welcome a new camper (in a camper-van) and found they were just passing through and decided to stop in, hook up to electricity, have a meal and a shower, and then go their way! Meanwhile they blocked a good site which a legitimate camper may have wanted, and used facilities which are there for paying and booked guests not day visitors...... The new entrance facilities should help stop that sort of thing.

No pool planned to the best of my knowledge - but there is always the river of course.....!

Smiling is contagious. Start an epidemic today!

Have you read the entrance permit? Do you KNOW the Conditions of Entry?

I know Martie mentioned in her blog of this morning that they were currently dismantling the old bridge so all entry is via the new temporary bridge recently built, as long as there are not heavy rains to wash it away again it should all be fine.
